THE SALESMAN...

John was a clerk in a small drugstore but he was not much of a
salesman. He could never find the item a customer wanted. Bob, the
owner, warned John that the next sale he missed would be his last.

Just then a man came in coughing and he asked John for their best
cough syrup. Try as he might John could not find the cough syrup.
Remembering Bob's warning, he sold the man a box of Ex-Lax and told
him to take it all at once. The customer did as John said and then
walked outside and leaned against a lamp post.

Bob had seen the whole thing and came over to ask John what had
transpired.

"He wanted something for his cough but I couldn't find the cough
syrup. I substituted Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once" John
explained.

"Ex-Lax won't cure a cough!" Bob shouted angrily.

"Sure it will" John said, pointing at the man leaning on the lamp
post.
"Just look at him. He's afraid to cough!"
